Quorum sensing regulation by the nitrogen phosphotransferase system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology
In the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the nitrogen-related phosphotransferase system (PTSNtr) influences multiple virulence behaviors. The PTSNtr is comprised of three enzymes: first PtsP, then the PtsO phosphocarrier, and the final PtsN ...

Characterization of the Phosphotransferase from Bacillus subtilis 1101 That Is Responsible for the Biotransformation of Zearalenone [PDF]

Toxins
Bacillus microorganisms play an important role in the zearalenone (ZEA) biotransformation process in natural environments. The phosphotransferase pathway in Bacillus is both widespread and relatively well conserved.

Naturally forming benzoic acid orientates perilipin to facilitate glyceride-type polyunsaturated fatty acid degradation via fermentation behavior

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Naturally forming benzoic acid in fermented dairy products accumulates in organisms and biomagnifies through collateral transport. The association between benzoic acid agglomeration and susceptible lipid nutrients remains obscure.

Differential contributions of choline phosphotransferases CPT1 and CEPT1 to the biosynthesis of choline phospholipids

Journal of Lipid Research, 2021
Choline phospholipids (PLs) such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) and 1-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerophosphocholine are important components for cell membranes and also serve as a source of several lipid mediators.
